Potluck Party Pepper Salad

One of my writing classes wanted to have a party on the last day of the semester, and I was delighted to make the arrangements. It was a low-stress potluck, and students brought things if they could. We had awesome foods, including homemade mac-n-cheese made by Josh!

I brought Potluck Party Pepper Salad, which I saw on a Facebook post. Being vegetarian and tending toward overweight, I always seek healthy options. Not only is it healthy, but it was a huge hit, and students asked me to provide the recipe. Here it is: Enjoy!

3 Bell Peppers (red, orange, yellow), chopped

1 medium Red Onion, chopped

1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed

1 large Avocado, chopped

1 large Tomato (I used 2 Roma), chopped

1/2 cup Feta Cheese

Dressing

1/4 cup Olive Oil

1/4 cup Vinegar

1 tablespoon water

1 tsp. garlic

1 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. oregano

dash black pepper

1/8 tsp. thyme

1/8 tsp. basil

1 tsp. parsley

Combine veggies in large bowl with beans. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over veggies; marinate as long as you choose in fridge. Top with Feta and avocado before serving. Yum.
